So, in recent trainings (conference Calls and regionals), you hear about having a "30-second commercial" ready to give when someone asks "What do you do?" or something. I was just wondering if anyone wanted to share their 'commercial'? I'm working on mine, so will share it when I figure it out myself
Bumping this.... I'm interested in the 30-second commercial too. Sometimes I'm caught off guard when someone spots my PC Tote.
I must admit- I forgot I posted this question, and should have done my homework and had my commercial before last week. I had a lady who knew nothing about PC ask me "tell me more about it?". She's a show/recruit lead! UGH! I fumbled through it- don't remember what I said, but I'm going to try this one on for size. I 'borrowed it' directly from the "Your Life Your Way" brochure. "I teach others to prepare delicious, budget-friendly meals, and share fun and affordable entertaining ideas." I've got to work on it some to make it MINE, but if I at least know that much, it hopefully would keep me from sounding stupid.
If someone mentions PC because I'm a walking billboard, I say, "Do you have a consultant who's currently meeting your needs?" If someone has simply asked what I do for a living I say, "I'm in infotainment." When they ask what that is, I reply, "I use entertainment to teach people how to make quick, easy, nutritious meals and snacks." The conversation usually goes on from there.
I like that!! especially the "I'm in infotainment." One of the Bookings CD's I listen to every so often the gal says "I'm an edutainer." It's short and sweet, and will definitely get their attention.
